Does Pinterest support MOV files?
Partially - MOV works from the Pinterest app, but not on the web uploader.
Pinterest's own Pin specification lists different accepted formats by surface: the mobile app (Android and iOS) accepts MP4, MOV and M4V, while the pinterest.com web uploader accepts only MP4 and M4V. A MOV that uploads fine from your phone will be rejected if you try the same file from a computer.
